This almost everything, (but not) pop culture book, is really very good, almost great.

It has classic TV shows, movies, top 40 music, Fads,

commercials, classic toy's, classic candy bars, great Icons, comics, and much more, popular and not very popular, about stuff from the 1950's to 1990's.

Babyboomers should have fun browsing in this book, but younger and older should like this book also.

The biggest problem with this book, is putting it down.

A book with, The Beatles, Jonny Quest, Coca Cola, Captain Kangaroo, Gilligan's Island, Hot Wheels, Barbie, Mini Skirts, The Flintstones, and much much more in one book can't be all bad.

Almost everything? almost, and almost everybody, should have fun reading this book.

I love this book. What a stroll down Nostalgia Lane... ;) My only complaint is that there are no pictures on the inside of the book at all. You can read about things, but if you're trying to explain to a child or someone who does not know, pictures would be nice. I like this book but I will be on the lookout for one with pictures.

i loved this book. a great way to bring back old memories of my youth. it was hard to think of something that wasn't in the book. i'm ordering a couple of the books as gifts for childhood friends.

This book was a great reference tool for my son to compete in National Academic Games and brouhgt back a lot of memories for me.

This encyclopedia captured my attention. Not only does it offer facts, but interesting insights into 20th century pop culture. Mr. Mansour's publication is an excellent resource for all.

Great book!!!! one you can just pick up any time, any page and learn something new!!!!! KUDOS

This A-to-Z 'encyclopedia' is not all-inclusive, but it is pretty darn good. It is fun to share some of the entries with my wife and would be more fun to share with my siblings who are all nearing 50 years of age. It is great fun to read and reflect.

This is an amazing book. It's very imformative for anyone growing up in these eras or wanting to learn more about the eras. I'd recomend it for all ages.

What can I say about a book that has entries on not only cultural icons like Harry Potter,Batman,Superman and Godzilla but also lesser known ones like Bad Luck Schleprock from The Pebbles & Bamm Bamm Show if you are looking for a guide to pop culture this is it did you know there was a shampoo made with beer? you will after you read this book THIS BOOK IS AWESOME!!!! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves pop culture both mainstream and obscure.
